Rules on self- employment

From: Sheila Emsley, High Cliffe Close, Thornton, Bradford.

I THINK Ian Raven (The Yorkshire Post, May 16) is misleading regarding the payroll company for whom he worked. The scenario he describes is illegal as anyone receiving a payslip is not classed as self-employed. I think he is confusing self-employment with contractors and/or agency workers.

From: Denise Rowe, Doncaster.

FOLLOWING a traumatic year, I retired and planned to enjoy life. A weekend in Haworth reduced my faith in human nature. Whoever kept my purse during a visit to the Villette Café, and chose not to hand it in, I hope you enjoyed your day. You certainly ruined mine.
